Exception Occurs Trying to Save or Load!

I'm playing on PC. Just installed the new build and started a new playthrough to see the new content.

There was no issue at first, but at the 4th save (I habitually save at every choice while I play through any VN), on the screen where I decide my name for the playthrough, the game suddenly started displaying an error whenever I try to open the save/load menus! I can't access the save files from the main menu, either; I can't access any of my save files now!

The following is from after I select "Continue" in the main menu:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Hello M3tav0x! I'm so sorry you encountered this issue, we shared the build with about a dozen people for playtesting and this didn't happen, so it's not exactly something I can easily reproduce on my end.
Let's try something: I'm going to share a version of the extra_screens_menu_screens.rpy file (the one that is causing the issue):

download here

Try replacing that in your 'game' folder, please let me know asap if that fixes it and we can rollout a hotfix

M3tav0X2 years ago (1 edit)

Just tried it and unfortunately, it didn't work... ;n;

[EDIT]

The exception traceback mentions that the issue is a name error with "bg_text" being undefined.

I'm not really sure what that actually means, tho.....

NanoffDeveloper2 years ago

Alright, let's try again
version 2

M3tav0X2 years ago

SUCCESS! It worked!!

Thank you so much!!!

NanoffDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Excellent, glad I could solve the issue!
Hope you enjoy the update and sorry for the inconvenience. I'll be rolling out a hotfix.

Rannoch1232 years ago

Heyo Nanoff, really excited to check out the update! Had the same problem though the "line 712" etc is a little different. For me, it happened when I tried to save a game with my character's name as "Anon". I was trying to pick into the VIP room. Now, the save and load functions result in the aforementioned error. Think the save file is broken - how do I delete it from my PC?

NanoffDeveloper2 years ago

Sorry to hear that, can you include the traceback?

Rannoch1232 years ago

Hi Nanoff, here's the traceback. The error occurred after I saved in the VIP room. I can't recall the exact scene my main save is at, but it would be at the restaurant after the opening of the hotel. Kota is the manager with Khebish as the third employee brought in via the Arts background.

I found exactly where the issue is: you have to save between getting your background and either ending chapter 1 or going into the VIP room for the error to trigger.
It's very specific which is why none of the poeple playtesting it found it.

Now that i identified the source of the issue I'm rolling out a 0.6.1.2 that should fix the bug so it doesn't happen to anyone else, AND would handle your messed up save file so it doesn't throw an error, no work on your part. There's nothing wrong with the save file itself so don't worry about that, renpy just has a hard time parsing the save name.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for helping me fix this.

Rannoch1232 years ago(+1)

Hi Nanoff, thanks for the quick response! really appreciate all the hard work and love you and the team have poured into this VA.

I think I know how to fix this

At what point of the game did you save?

The reason why this bug keeps popping up is due to the way save file names are generated and loaded (the variable with the save file name is parsed by the save and load screens to split off the little save file icons with your background and who your lounge manager is, etc.)

There's an if statement where if your save file has none of these icons it defaults to another format for the save file name and that is what is causing the error

I need to know what that point of the game is

NanoffDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Nevermind I fixed it

NanoffDeveloper2 years ago

Ok, for the people who encountered similar problems- these happen when saving the game at a very specific point (after picking your background but before finishing the prologue). I put a definitive solution to this shit with the 0.6.1.2 version. If your save file is affected, just downloading the new version will solve it.

I'm super sorry you encountered this, it's such a specific border case that none of the dozen or so people doing playtesting the build caught it
